Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

I'm right about everything all the time and I am not joking.


Actually at a meeting this evening will a couple of pink ladies. We will filmed some excellent street footage in Tower Hamlets Monday which will be broadcast on social media in the coming weeks.

Got a holiday to Mexico start of February. Lots planned including a protest down on the South Coast early March.

Will try to keep posting but very busy with the activist work.

#GHod bless Iran.

Now that's a blast from the 80s...and better times. (not via drinking that brick btw)

Think I'd rather aim for a night out with the Lambrini Girls these days.

Watching Politics Live atm and apparently the "irrefutable evidence" that Badenoch referred to was a copy of his resignation speech which had been left on a printer and one of his staff found it!

I think this will be a popular move with Reform voters. I could even see a scenario where Farage takes a bit of a step back (does anyone really believe he wants the restrictions that would come with being PM?) and Jenrick takes over as leader. Not now of course, but in a year or so.

As evidenced by the reform-led councils, they mostly appear to be clueless about governance. Farage certainly is. And getting the dregs of the Tory party as members is a bad look for an anti-establishment party, sure, but also they are bringing their worst Tory baggage with them. Reform will just end up looking like a rebranded Tory party by the end of it.

I have heard similar musings about Farage's desire to take the reins. Farage is a grifter first and foremost. He wants the trappings of power but not the responsibilities that go with it. He is the face of the party and if some serious scandal takes him out, Russian money or such like, the party will go down with him. We can but hope on this front.

No way Farage wants the top job, been saying it for years on here

He'll be 65 by the time of the election. Starmer at 62 was considered an old leader (for this era/country) going into the last one.
